Abstract
A tubular packaging container includes a body (10) which includes a peripheral wall (34) defining top and bottom openings, at least one of which is closed by an end member. The body is formed from at least two panels (20, 30) of a suitable card material cut from flat stock. The panels are secured together in face-to-face relationship by adhesive (32) distributed across the mutually contacting faces thereof. The panels are then curved to the required shape to form a tube with marginal portions (31) of at least one of the panels secured together in overlapping relationship.
Claims16
A tubular packaging container comprising a body which includes a peripheral wall defining top and bottom openings, at least one of which is suitable for closure by an end member, wherein the body is formed from at least two panels of a suitable card material cut from flat stock and shaped to form a tube with marginal portions of at least one of said panels secured together in overlapping relationship, said panels also being secured together in face-to-face relationship by adhesive distributed across the mutually contacting faces thereof, in which marginal portions of only the external panel are glued together adhesively in overlapping relationship to form the tubular body, whilst corresponding end edges of the internal panel are brought into abutting relationship to define the peripheral dimension of the tubular body.
A method of manufacturing the body of a tubular packaging container including the steps of cutting from substantially flat stock of a suitable card material at least two panels, adhesively securing the panels together in face-to-face relationship by means of adhesive distributed across the mutually contacting faces thereof, shaping said panels to a predetermined shape to form a tube, and securing together adhesively marginal portions of only the external panel in overlapping relationship to form the tubular body, whilst corresponding end edges of the internal panel are brought into abutting relationship to define the peripheral dimensions of the tubular body.
